Month: May 2022

so i’m getting some much needed vacation time, quite a few weeks off the job, and i’m trying my best to pull together a plan so i don’t feel like my time has been wasted. i have become a workaholic over the last 2 years, dealing with my problems through hard work and sacrificing my own humanity to get jobs done. haven’t had more than 5 days off at a time since i started working at 14. anyone got any advice for how to spend my time? i wanna reconnect with who i am and spend time on hobbies and things i enjoy and get as much mileage out of the time off as i possibly can. making a list right now, any and all advice / ideas welcome and appreciated 🙂

Make pay amount-based (per unit of work) so being productive benefits only the worker. Oh yeah and make a clause in the law that the pay per unit must go up with the inflation % every year and can never go down.

I’m relatively new to this sub but it’s great seeing so many like minded people who realize how bad we’re being screwed. I’m 22 years old and am an assistant manager at a dunkin. I am one of the only white employees at my work and my boss has made very racist comments to me because he thinks I won’t care. I’ve been there for two years but still only make $13.75 as an assistant manager when minimum wage is only $13 in NJ. Our store has had roaches and mice in the past but nothing happened although not anymore. Also in my two years I’ve never seen a health inspector. I heard from another employee our owner apparently bribes them. He knew the owner more personally. Generally management does not care about anyone but themselves and I feel after working full time for two years 45 hours 6 days…

I work in an industry where the customers are pathetic, cruel and the definition of gluttony. My coworkers are even worse and I am finding it harder and harder to cope. I come in, do my work and leave. I don’t see why others have to act as if being paid to work is a crime against humanity. Everyone is fucking everyone, massive cliques and lazy staff who refuse to do their work, who make the company I work for look so embarrassing and ruin morale to everyone who is a good worker. I fail to see how this is fair at all. I’m sick of being paid the same wage as lazy people. I can’t bring myself to not work on my shift. I can’t bring myself to be that type of person. It’s simply too feral for me to think I am above doing a good job, even…
